      Healthy Skin Starts With the Basics

      Getting Skin Ready® (GSR®) is the essential first step to bring skin back to its healthiest state. This simple ZO® Skin Health protocol of cleansing, exfoliating and toning works synergistically to promote skin health restoration and to optimize the effectiveness of our more advanced prevent and correct products, programs and protocols. The GSR® protocol is designed to:

      • Remove surface oil, makeup + pollutants that can cause breakouts and contribute to premature skin aging
      • Initiate renewal of skin’s upper layers to improve texture
      • Enhance penetration of corrective products to optimize overall results
      • Improve microcirculation for a healthier-appearing complexion

      Clinically Proven Results

      At the 8-week interval of a clinical study, patients self-assessed the efficacy of GSR®, reporting statistical improvements across all benefits measured.

      FAQs

      Can I use these products together in the same routine?

      Yes. These formulas are designed to complement each other when used in the correct order. Start with cleansing, follow with exfoliation (if used), then apply treatment products, and finish with your daytime protection.

      Suggested order: Cleanse → Exfoliate → Treat → Protect

      re these products suitable for sensitive skin?

      Most skin types can use these products, but if you have sensitive skin or you’re new to active skincare, introduce one product at a time and increase frequency gradually. If irritation occurs, reduce usage and focus on barrier support.

      When should I expect to see results?

      Results vary by skin type and consistency. Many users notice improved smoothness and hydration within 1–2 weeks. Visible improvements in tone, texture, and overall skin quality typically appear within 4–8 weeks, with best results over 12 weeks of consistent use.

      Should I use these in the morning or at night?

      It depends on the product and your skin’s tolerance. Daily antioxidant and barrier-support products are typically used in the morning, while exfoliating and retinol-based products are often best used at night. Always follow the directions on each product and adjust frequency as needed.

      What should I avoid while using active skincare?

      Avoid over-exfoliating and introducing too many actives at once. Wear sunscreen daily, especially when using exfoliating or retinol products. If you experience dryness, stinging, or excessive redness, scale back and reintroduce gradually.
